Statement of Significance
The Braille and Talking Book Library built in 1918-19 and substantially intact, with the 1927 Braille Hall at the rear, has State significance as an important public building. It has significance relating to the cultural sentiment attached to its use as a community resource centre containing a braille collection that is the largest of its kind in the Commonwealth and the third largest in the world. The library is of architectural interest as an unusual example of Edwardian architecture, combining classical and Queen Anne motifs. The hall is sympathetic in style and is of architectural interest as an intact example of a communtiy hall built in the mid 1920s.
